When the Ambarayans refused to sell him their moonfruit so he could profit off of it, he had them wiped out and ordered his men to LeaveNoSurvivors. Later, to test his product, he created a FakeCharity for homeless children so he could take them off the streets and [[TestedOnHumans experiment on them]] with no remorse.
